À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
These amazing huacas (pron. wa-cas), or temples, were built during the Mochica era (1-650 A.D.) on the left side of the Moche River in Southern Trujillo. Huacas were traditionally built against a sacred hill, and the Huaca de la Luna required more than fifty million adobe bricks to be constructed. In front of the Huaca de la Luna is the Huaca del Sol, probably the largest mud-brick structure in the Americas. The Huaca del Sol is 372 yards long, 175 yards wide and was originally over 130 feet high! Like the Huaca de la Luna, it has a series of terraces and slopes leading to its summit. You'll also visit the Huaca de la Luna, built as an extension to the hill, which uncovers the secrets of the Mochica civilization through walls with vibrantly painted reliefs carved from the adobe structure.
After this captivating historical sojourn you will drive to Trujillo, which still retains much of its colonial charm and is adorned by a splendid backdrop consisting of the vivid green and brown terrain of the Andean foothills. Be sure to visit its pleasant and spacious Plaza de Armas, where the main Cathedral, City Hall stand. Surrounding this impressive Colonial square, you'll find many magnificently, richly-colored buildings with decorative windows or balconies, including the must-see Libertador Hotel and Orbegoso Mansion. Following your visit, you'll drive through the city before returning to the pier.
Please note: Comfortable shoes are a must, as there are ramps and stairs to negotiate at the temples and a considerable amount of walking. Sunscreen and a hat are also essential. Bear in mind that these areas are undergoing a continuous excavation process.

If our public servants want to make budget cuts that do the most long-term good for this valley, they should cut all four subsidies they hand to realty tourism. Realty tourism drives up the cost of everything, for everybody. Besides, subsidies are notorious for promoting complacency, mediocrity and an overriding concern for self-perpetuation.
A) Stop paying the airline bribe. If the realtors want more prospects, or Telski wants help flying in its ski ticket customers, let the private sector figure it out. The newspaper said last year that realtor Lucarelli, for instance, got about some $350,000 for flipping some carbon-wasting mansion (a one-fourth share on that deal; it puts TAR's paltry $24,000 bribe payment this year in perspective: what's that, a half-hour of work?). Let these ingrates pay for the bribe. Remember, before the developer takeover (The Awakening Giant, 1981ish), we were a media darling, and airlines favored us. Since it was the land speculators who perverted our brand, let them pay to lure the airlines back. And how about holding Telski to its word for once: remember when this realtor promised that once it reached 300,000 skier days it would no longer "need" support? It's now 450,000! Why does council let the pro-grwothers so use and abuse us? Town is not a newspaper, which the realtors can boycott and run out of business.
Moreover, since one person flying round trip from London to Sydney, for instance, consumes the same amount of carbon the average human uses in a year, how can our elected officials in good conscience force caring, thinking Telluriders to partake in this planet-destroying airline bribe?
B) Apply Telluride's business license fees towards diversifying the economy, not paying for land speculator advertising. "Come for a Night, Stay a Lifetime" is not just the 8-year ad headline of these subsidies' chief benefactor, it has been the principle strategy of TCRA/TVS/TMI for 24 years, when Benchmark usurped Telluride's marketing. No longer were repeat summer visitors Telluride's target audience. Instead, our money is used to target indoorsy, newly rich second home buyer prospects. At swear-in, our councilpeople pledge to promote a "diverse and sustainable" economy. With these realty tourism subsidies, they're doing the exact opposite.
C) End the 2 percent retail tax. The realty tourism industry just uses our money to lure investor types to town, pitch them at check-in (perhaps 90 percent of regional beds are owned or managed or partnered with a real estate operation), and then sell them some piece of something at inflated prices. Realtors work 40 hours a week driving up home prices, forcing out good Telluriders, cutting down our already imperiled aspen and evergreens, and erecting (and flipping) planet-destroying mega-houses. They add not one cent to the value of anything. The foks who champion luring more humans here to live such carbon-spewing lifestyles must all be barren—why would they bring children onto a planet their daily work is destroying? Fact: if all people consumed on the pace of Americans, we would need the natural resources of four planets right now. If all people consumed on the pace of MVers, that's probably ten planets right now. Twenty, thirty? Moral Telluriders must not be forced to partner-up with this value structure.
[Though it seems to me a death sentence, Mountain Village appears determined to go for the opulence niche. For things that burn carbon, worldwide scorn today is a fraction of what it soon will be. Heck, even Al Gore's house has been called out in national media for consuming "50 percent more electricity every month than the average American does in a year."]
D) End the 2 percent lodging tax. Miramonte's Lodging Panel just dedicates it, with no strings attached, to the realtors who own and/or run virtually all the lodges, whose outreach targets home buyers and spa users, not the sophisticated, affluent adventurers who flocked to Telluride before the dentist came here with his strange notion of what's classy. When we hand the real estate folks this extra $800,000-odd each year, they've got that much more money to advertise their wasteful mansions. So by subsidizing realtor tourism, our commissioners make good Telluriders guilty, too, for disasters like ozone holes and the dismantling of the northern boreal forest, which is cut up for realtor-type mailings.
Besides eliminating these damaging subsidies (totaling about $2,300,000/year), we trim our budgets if we simply make growth pay its own way. Unless Pryor/Fraser/Betts, Inc., rewrote Telluride history when I wasn't looking, we voters have insisted that growth pay its own way. A mandate is a mandate. So when will our 10 public servants step up and show some backbone? No more subsidies of private industry; huge road impact fees on all pro-development trucking use of the spur; bigger development fees to cover staff time; fewer staffers to handle these developers, so it will take longer for them to chop down our imperiled forest, erode community, etc. Bigger employee housing requirements for new condo projects. Anything and everything. Mandatory solarizing everything, no grandfathering. House sizes down to 6,000 sq. ft. Moratoria on job creation, housing starts, population increases. Mandatory carbon offsetting credit purchases.
Telluriders claim two core values: environment and community. Both values have as their chief threat additional growth. We must insist our governors fight to keep Telluride smaller longer. Telluriders have defined "quality of life," and it's about community fiber and connection with the natural world, not about money or fancy stuff. And certainly not about propping up a morally bankrupt private industry.

The dental hygiene program is intense. Every week is exam week. But with a wonderful staff who are eager to teach you enjoy each and every minute of it.
Academic Experience:
The instructors in the dental hygiene program are awesome. Although, I can't say the same for the other instructors at the campus because I wasn't a student until starting the dental hygiene program.
Academic Experience:
My academic experience has been pretty good so far. I have been given the help I needed and the teachers I have had so far have done a good job at teaching their subjects and making it understandable.
Academic Experience:
Currently my major is undecided. So far my classes or ok but they could be better.
Academic Experience:
In my major the workload is a heavy load, but it is expected. The professors are there to push us and guide us, although I wish sometimes they would slow down and explain things a little more thoroughly.

Queens >Food & Dining >
Catering >Avellino Ristorante Pizzeria
9703 64th Ave, Rego Park, NY | Directions 1137440.729273 -73.859332
Daily 11am-11pm ; Open 7 Days ; Open Holidays
Neighborhoods: Rego Park
Was in the mood for good pizza – Thought to have a good pizza meal by ordering a custom made pizza- after being met with some resistance the pizza man 'warns' me this will be $25. I agree figuring it's worth the wait. Nothing so out of the ordinary- fresh mozarell, basil, tomato and sausage. When called to get pizza I see main ingredient was omitted- when I mention it the pizza man he impatiently responds- 'three dollars extra'. I take the pie as is- no apology. The pie was half baked and watery- this experience will keep me away from pizza in general for a while and from Avellino forever.
The worst experience ever!!!! – The worst experience ever! Bad customer service really make the food taste even worst. Nothing special about the food and that makes it overpriced. The pizza is watery, the curst has no taste... I think a supermarket pizza dough taste better. By the way, we pay $26 for the worst medium pizza (with the wrong topping even) and the worst attitude. We learn not to go again.
Quality ingredients and friendly staff – Nice neighbourhood pizzeria with good quality ingredients, I am a big fan of their pizza blanca, and also the mozerella with basil always fresh with virgin olive oil drizzled on top. Brings the italian back to pizza! Friendly staff and I can see it has neighbourhood regulars all on a first name basis.
Good but not great – Like so many New York pizzerias these days, so this one skimps on the sauce and seems to have something against garlic and spices ... but it's still better than a lot of others, which simply taste of the cardboard box they come in. Still, if you want great pizza these days in New York, it's almost impossible to find and you're better off just making it at home.
Solid meal spot – Do yourself a favor if you ever find yourself in Rego Park and hit up Avellino's Pizza... the pizza is a no-brainer, and the dinners are drastically underrated. Try the lasagna (a personal favorite), the carbonara or the parm... all delightful and reasonably priced.
Great wait staff as well.. if you play your cards right you may end up with a free glass of wine or 5
This Pizza Is King In Queens! – With the first bite of Avellino's uniquely-tangy pizza, the tastebuds seem to sing with the discovery of one of the best pies in the five boroughs. The crust is a work of art, the proportion of cheese to sauce is almost scientific in its perfection, and what heavenly sauce, with a tang that puts every other pizzeria in a five-mile radius to shame! It's obvious why Avellino's has ruled Rego Park as the premiere pizzeria for over twenty years!

This article was updated on January 31, 2011, because of a previous error. In the Abstract (page 252), Table I (page 254), and the Results section (page 257), the conversion of Fahrenheit into Celsius was incorrect. In all locations, the values that had previously read ">101.5°F (>40.6°C)" now read ">101.5°F (>38.6°C)".
The present study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of Lyme arthritis in children who had a joint aspiration at a tertiary care children's hospital in an endemic area and to identify clinical factors useful to differentiate Lyme arthritis from septic arthritis at the time of the initial presentation.
The records of all children with an age of eighteen years or less who were managed with aspiration for joint effusions at our institution from 1992 to 2009 were reviewed. Data collection included a review of aspirates; an analysis of cell count, culture results, and hematological inflammatory markers; and a review of surgical intervention.
A total of 506 joint aspirations were analyzed. One hundred and fifteen aspirations were excluded. In the remaining group of 391 patients, 123 (31%) were subsequently diagnosed with Lyme arthritis. Fifty-one patients had culture-positive septic arthritis. The two cohorts were significantly different in terms of the presence of a fever of >101.5°F (>38.6°C) at the time of presentation, the refusal to bear weight, the peripheral white blood-cell count, and joint fluid cell count. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate and the C-reactive protein level were not significantly different between the two cohorts. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that refusal to bear weight was the strongest predictor of the diagnosis of septic arthritis over Lyme arthritis.
For any child presenting with a joint effusion in a Lyme-endemic area of the Northeastern United States, the likely prevalence of Lyme arthritis is 31% overall and 45% in the presence of knee effusion. Children with joint effusions resulting from Lyme disease are more likely to have knee involvement, a lower peripheral white blood-cell count, and a lower joint fluid cell count, and they are less likely to have fever or complete refusal to bear weight, when compared with children with septic arthritis.
Diagnostic Level II. See Instructions to Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Week two is now in the books. The week was almost workout-free, but I did better with the nutrition end, limiting my free day to Saturday. Still need to work on drinking enough water on weekends.
Looking back over two weeks of monitoring, I can see that my "checkpoint" last Monday gave me an anomalously high body fat reading compared to the days around it. This week's progress is counted from last Sunday instead of Monday to correct for that.
I think my lean gain last week is inflated by water retention (had too much salt and not enough water over the weekend, which for me leads initially to water retention - I can feel the swelling in my fingers) and the real change was probably closer to zero. But still, I'm a bit surprised by the amount of progress so far. I have been trying these past two weeks to make my overall lifestyle more active - parking farther away from buildings, getting up and walking more at work, taking stairs instead of elevators or escalators, etc. Maybe I've been under-estmating just how much of a workout all that can add up to.
Monday Monday...
Definitely had to push through a case of the Mondays today, but it went well. Did some Upper Body. I think (finally) I am at the point where I should be with weights. I was being a sucker to pride and trying to 'hold my own' in the gym by lifting more than I should have. My arms and muscles hurt, but my form was terrible. Today, I sucked it up and started with 15 lbs. on some but it felt good to nail each and every set the right way.
Weekend was interesting... I took my free day Saturday, which I found out I don't enjoy. While it was nice for the foods that were served at our family dinner, my schedule was so off on Sunday I only got five meals in and drank MAYBE one or two bottles of water. Not my strongest day yet, that's for sure. I will try to always take free day on Sunday whenever possible from now on.
Today's Scripture:
Psalms 40:31- "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles: they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint." I took this to heart this morning when my body simply did not want to get out of bed. I just went and took some time to pray and wait on God, and be infused with His strength. We're two weeks in, ten weeks out now- another week or two for things to become habit for us. This is the crunch time when it's the last ditch effort by our bodies to revert back to the old ways but we can't let them win. I'll press on, tapping into that strength that comes from waiting on God, and see the results I know I want to see!
Go get 'em team!
Happy Tuesday!
mstickles: couple of questions. How do you measure your BF? I'm using skin calipers, but when I measure I am not sure I am getting an accurate reading. I measure 3 spots. chest, thigh and belly. If I measure 3 times I get 3 different numbers - especially my belly. Ughh. Second question, how did you get that table to display in your last post?
smswise: sounds like you you're making good progress, It took me a couple of weeks to figure out the weights too. One trick I use is if I think the weight feels too light, I sloooowwwww down and that makes it much harder to get all the reps. Slow lighter weights and good form beats fast, heavy weights with lousy form in my opinion. At least that's what my muscles tell me the next day.
Some quit due to slow progress, without realizing progress IS progress.
How do you measure your BF?
A semi-custom method. It's based on a body-fat chart from Barry Sears' book Enter The Zone, where you look up weight along one axis and belly circumference minus wrist circumference along the other. I copied the chart into a spreadsheet and interpolated best-fit lines to make it a set of equations that I can plug weight, belly and wrist measurements into. Back when I first did it, I got someone to help me do skinfold calipers so I could compare the measurements. Over several months my chart was normally within half a percent of the calipers, and never more than one percent off. But that was for me - a friend tried it and if I recall correctly, I think it was usually two to five percent (or more) off the caliper results for him.
My reporting probably makes it look more accurate/precise than it really is, but being "unjustifiably precise" is a psychological trick I use to help keep myself focused (even though I know that's what I'm doing, it still works).
how did you get that table to display in your last post?
Instead of using the quick reply editor, I clicked the "Use rich formatting" link to get the full version of the editor. On the bottom row of toolbar buttons, the second one from the right (just to the left of the anchor) lets you insert a table.
Thanks for that. I started to notice that the other day. It's hard to force myself to slow down, but I can definitely notice the results. Interesting question... does anyone know if we're supposed to not be as sore after lifting as when the program first started? I know that I'm pushing my muscles to failure, and hitting my tens, but I'm nowhere near as sore the following days as the first week and a half of the program.
Today was cardio. I stayed home and did it on our elliptical at home, which is functional, just not as nice as the gym. I knocked it out of the park though! My old level 8 has become my current 5, all in about a month's time (I started the HIIT a few weeks before the challenge). Thrilled with those results!
Today's scripture:
Matthew 6:21- "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
Today I stopped at the gas station to put some gas in the car, and as I was waiting in line I looked around and saw all the candies and goodies that I used to so desire- the Reese's eggs in particular. I saw the price said $0.75, and I thought to myself, "Why would I waste a dollar to stay fat."
This program has changed how I handle our finances, in such a great way. I no longer want to spend my money on junk food- in working toward not wanting the food itself, I've been able to press into a new place financially and put my heart (and wallet) toward more important things. Being fat is a costly habit, and one I'm no longer going to fuel!
Looking forward to doing some crunches tomorrow. I love feeling my abs burn!
Lbs Lost
Goal 255lbs at 15% body fat
The last week has been crazy which is why I haven't posted much recently. I did stick to the program, but only lost two pounds by the end of the second week. As such, I've lost a total of 15 lbs thus far. I don't know why I only 2lbs this past week but hope to have a large number this week. I also plan to participate more on the forum now that I'll have a little more time.
I tried to create a table above but it didn't work... Better luck next time...
Actually, it did work - next time you do it and the box pops up to define your table, just set the "border" property to "1" and the table lines will be visible in your post (it defaults to "0" which keeps the lines invisible - sorry, didn't think about that).
About to try my first full medicine ball workout (this week's plan is walking Mon-Wed-Fri and medicine ball Tue-Thu-Sat), we'll see how it goes. Hopefully within a week or two I'll be able to kick it up from walking to HIIT cardio, but one thing at a time.
Whew. Yeah, I think this workout is perfect for where I am right now. I should be nice and sore in a bunch of places tomorrow (or, as we called it in my last group, "the feeling of progress").
smswise: You won't be as sore as when you first started. I still get a little sore, but the soreness usually fades with the 1st or 2nd set for that body part, but nothing like the initial shock. Most body builders change their workout routine every 12 weeks. Your body will get totally complacent to your routine. New blood vessels, capillaries etc will be constructed to allow more blood flow to the working muscles, which will allow you to add more weight or more reps and that alleviates the soreness. :)
Big snow storm here last night, but the roads look clear. I'm going to go for a run for some extra cardio. No HIIT, just an easy jog - my legs are a bit sore.
Hello all. Been out of the internet saddle a few days, but sticking with the plan.
Today was cardio. Hit some good peaks and really pushed through the last! Eating plan still needs more discipline, but it is improving. Like many of you, I get to my free day and really don't have the desire I once had. It's a blessing.
Scripture today may seem a little odd at first. Matthew 28:51-53 - "And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split. The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many."
How many of us have spent years entombed in our own bodies? God's plan is for us to live healthy and full lives! Through this process, we will have a stronger "earth suit" in order to live longer and provide God more glory during our days. I'm looking forward to showing my new and improved healthier body to others, so that when they ask how I did it, I can point to the One who gave me the strength and the motivation to keep moving forward.
Decent walking workout yesterday, despite the snow and slush. Good thing there's not much traffic in my neighborhood 'cause I did my walking in the road instead of on the sidewalks (sidewalks mostly were covered by 1-3" of slush, the road was mostly clean).
My focus for this challenge has shifted a bit. In addition to my physical challenges, I realized I'm going to have two weeks where working out and following the eating plan will not be possible - week 5 (Clean Week, the first week of Great Lent) and week 11 (Holy Week). Clean Week is the strictest fasting period in the Eastern Orthodox calendar, and will leave me no energy for workouts; Holy Week is the second strictest and has the most services, leaving me neither energy nor time. But spiritual things come first.
So, my focus this challenge is simply going to be getting my body in shape to do a proper challenge. Get rid of about 15 lbs of fat, strengthen my core, work up to being able to do serious exercise again. I'll end this challenge after week 10, have week 11 as my "week off", then start my third challenge in what would have been the last week of this one. That way I'll hit my 50th birthday during the latter part of week 12, which will line up nicely with my primary motivation - my "Fifty by 50" goal (lose a total of 50 lbs of fat by my 50th birthday).
It still seems strange to me that, when I've accomplished that goal, my body fat will be around 13%, but I'll be the same weight I was when I graduated college - and I was around 32-33% body fat then (and looked fatter than I do now, 40+ pounds later).
Hi all
Sorry for my absence yesterday... woke up feeling super sick, so I went to the gym anyways in an effort to 'push through.' Big mistake, i needed the rest. Spent the rest of the day with a fever and nausea and in an awful cold sweat. Oh well!
I did sleep in this morning to rest my body, so no HIIT today. But it's alright, I'll make up for it another time, and one day won't kill me. I'm going to Indiana tomorrow, so an eight hour drive I'll need all my faculties about me for. I want to be 100%! Went shopping today to get all the foods for the trip, and planning on working out at the hotel. Probably won't be updating until next week.
Today's (And yesterday's) Scripture:
1 Peter 2:24
"... By whose stripes, you were healed."
I'm needing this right now! I refuse to let sickness get on me and knock me off this challenge. A little setback, but it won't stop me or my progress. I am healed, and I'll push through in faith to see my healing!
Good morning. Upper Body today. Really solid workout; not my best, but certainly feel the sore. Eating improved as well. Ready for another free day that will be a little less free!
Mark 1:35 - And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed.
Don't forget to energize your souls for the day. It is an awesome rush to follow a great workout!

Loved it!!
All My Heart Save the Date Magnets We ordered our save the date magnets in the All My Heart style and I absolutely love them. We requested the font size and name placement to be customized and the response was very quick. The magnets came in a very nice package. I was very happy with my experience with Magnet Street and would recommend them to anyone looking for wedding stationary. It's really worth it.
Couldn't be happier
All My Heart Save the Date Magnets I ordered a single save the date magnet and really liked the quality but didn't like my pictures on it the way they were. The personal designer completely edited the design free of charge. I absolutely love my save the dates and my family and friends do too!
All My Heart Save the Date Magnets My Save the Date magnets came out beautiful. Perfectly packaged, speedy delivery and the box it came in I'm actually going to use as my "wedding day essentials" box to hold my garter and headpiece and all those Bridal things. It's so cute! Thanks MagnetStreet!:)
Great all around and LOVE it!
All My Heart Save the Date Magnets Our magnets came out great! I was initially frustrated I could not make the text size smaller to fit our website, but you really wouldn't want to go smaller than they allowed. We ended up using a different font to make it fit. They arrived a little but earlier than initially estimated, which was great! My one complaint, and it's a minor one, is the number you can order. We needed 77 plus a few extras just in case. It was cheaper to order 100 instead of ordering 75 and then a few individually.
Great Save the Date
All My Heart Save the Date Magnets The personalization is great. We were able to choose our own colors and place our own pictures. We love them.

National Panhellenic Conference
"The National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) is composed of 26 international sororities/women's fraternities, five of which exist on Wright State's campus. NPC organizations exist to: provide a good democratic social experience; give value beyond college years; create, through their ideals, an ever-widening circle of service beyond the membership; develop the individual's potential through leadership opportunities and group effort; and to fill the need of belonging."
What is the College Panhellenic Council?
The word "Panhellenic" was derived from the Greek word "pan," mean "all," and "Hellenic," meaning "Greek." The Wright State University College Panhellenic Council (CPC) serves as the governing body for the six national sororities on campus. The Panhellenic women work together to unite sororities, to focus on common goals, and to create a network of support for chapters and members. We provide many interactive programs for sorority women.
The Panhellenic Creed
We, as the undergraduate members of women's fraternities, stand for good scholarship, for guarding of good health, for maintenance of fine standards, and for serving to the best of our ability our college community. Cooperation for futhering fraternity life, in harmony with its best possibilities, is the ideal that shall guide our fraternity activities.
We, as fraternity women, stand for service through the development of character inspired by the close contact and deep friendships of individual fraternity and Panhellenic life. The opportunity for wide and wise human service, through mutual respect and helpfulness, is the tenet by which we strive to live.
How to Join
There are two ways to join a Panhellenic organization:
- Fall: Partially Structured Recruitment
The process of Sorority Recruitment involves up to 2 weeks of opportunities to explore sorority life by getting to know all five chapter and then making a mutual selection to join the chapter where you feel like you belong. In the weeks leading up to recruitment, potential members who have registered are placed with a recruitment conselor (known as Sigma Rho Gamma's or Rho Gams). Rho Gams help potential members with questions and bring them to pre-recruitment events that show some of what sorority life is all about!
- Spring Continuous Open Bidding (COB): ): Any sorority that is not at campus total is eligible to bring in additional members through an informal recruiting process known as COB. Each organization will plan and advertise its own events. If you are interested in finding out which chapters will participate in Spring COB, contact the CPC Vice President for Recruitment.

From Green Right Now Reports
A compound from honeybees known as propolis, the substance bees use to seal their hives, may protect against heat stress in athletes, according to an article released in the Journal of Food Science, published by the Institute of Food Technologists.
Honeybee propolis, or bee glue, has been widely used as a folk medicine. An active ingredient in propolis known as caffeic acid phenethyl ester (or CAPE) has a broad spectrum of biological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiviral. Hyperthermia, or heat stress, is considered to be the main factor underlying the early fatigue and dehydration seen during prolonged exercise in the heat.
The discovery is another reminder of the potential ramifications of the loss in recent years of millions of bees around the world to Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). Scientists believe that CCD is a result of multiple stresses on the bees, such as loss of habitat, drought and possibly chronic exposure to pesticides, that weaken the bees immune systems, subjecting them to untimely deaths from viruses and other infections.

Topics: domains, ICANN, top-level domains
This week's launch of the .co domain brings to mind the possibility that retailers could before long be faced with deciding how to deal with many more top-level domains in addition to the ones we all know, such as .com, .gov, .edu and .org. That's because ICANN, the organization that oversees the Internet's addressing system, has been considering—for a few years now—a proposal to dramatically increase the number of top-level domains. Advocates think it would be great if cities could have domains like .nyc or .london, enthusiasts could navigate to .music or loyal customers of retailers could shop at web sites that end with .amazon or .bestbuy.
ICANN has not yet approved the concept in large part because of the opposition of retailers and other large corporations. Those companies realize they would have to pay hefty fees to many domain registrars to protect their brands. Amazon may not feel the need to create an amazon.rome site, but they don't want anyone else using that URL to market to shoppers in Italy's capital. Given that there could be many new top-level domains if this proposal is approved, the fees could add up.
Just this week, online retailer Overstock.com announced it had paid $350,000 for the domain name O.co, making it one of the first to take advantage of the new .co domain. Overstock had its own reasons—as it moves to sell a broader range of merchandise and not just excess inventory, it's trying to rebrand itself as O, a name that doesn't say overstocked goods the way Overstock.com does. Chances are most URLs would not be so costly.
But why pay anything when these new domains have no reason for being? This may have been a good idea a decade ago, but now search engines make it obsolete. If someone in Rome, or anywhere else, wants to find Amazon, all they have to do is Google it. You'll get to Amazon.com, or a local version of it, such as Amazon's European gateway to its British, French and German sites. If your musical interests runs to jazz, hip-hop or a particular artist, all you have to do is search for your interest and you'll get all the options you need. I don't think a .music domain would make your life easier.
The only beneficiary would be the domain registrars that could charge fees for the new Internet addresses. Not surprisingly, they're the ones behind the proposal to allow new top-level domains. But I've yet to hear a coherent argument why a retailer would support the idea. Retailers have plenty of better ways to spend their money.
July 1940 Journal of the Patent Office Society. An official of the U.S. Patent Office who resigned his post because he believed that all possible inventions had already been invented. Are you related to this guy? See story below-- http://www.ipmall.info/hosted_resources/PatentHistory/p sass.htm
Sure, in theory you can use any old domain name and users can still find you on Google but there are flaws in that thinking. First, search competition is tough and not all brands/retailers are well-known. A hammock retailer with an obscure name is not going to be searched for when someone is searching for hammocks. The user doesn't know the brand name so they are more likely to search on a keyword when they don't know a brand. The keyword hammocks will be searched, so the keyword domain Hammocks.com becomes a desirable domain as it can rank higher. Consider also that many retailers will spend millions of dollars on ad campaigns branding a domain name offline. They will likely want a specific domain for these efforts and often those domains can be used by other companies. For example, I'm a competitor to Hammocks.com, so maybe we should try Hammocks.TV What about an internet retailer that doesn't currently own a decent domain name and covets a better one ? Overstock is the perfect example as they covet O.com I'm sure more than any other domain. . . buying O.co was the next best choice for them and it protects the brand. I can sympathize with the issue that brands will have to rake out extra money to register all the variations of their domain as each new domain is released, but I would argue this is not a necessity by any means and their hands are not being forced in to this. Most global brands are already protecting themselves and at a certain level this cost is negligible ($1000 annually maybe?) . Small-midsize companies likely don't even bother registering their brands in new and alternative extensions as their brand in .com usually suffices and the other extensions aren't really diluting that brand .There are already hundreds of extension in both global (gTLDs) and country code domains (ccTLDs) so this problem is not a new one.
The example of using the domain Hammocks.TV to compete with Hammocks.com--a retailer that's already corralled the key URL for the .com domain--is the first good argument I've heard for new top-level domains. Thanks for the post. Don Davis, editor, Internet Retailer magazine.
I completely agree with the switch to .CO domains. Although it will be able to reach a group of retailers that already have their key domain taken. It would also be beneficial to companies trying to rebrand their company name, such as Overstock purchasing O.Co (for $350,000) in efforts to move away from Overstock to simply "O". When all is said in done, and if .Co takes off, the internet could be better organized than it is now. Great post, Don!

I bought this with my boyfriend in mind. His feet are terrible. They're so coarse he's ripped holes in the sheets. When it came in the mail I showed it to him. He took it, said thanks, and I haven't seen it since. His calloused feet aren't ripping up the sheets any more so...it must be working.
I've purchased this a couple times in the past. First, i love the pepperminty smell! But secondly, and most importantly is that this seems to work miracles over night! I put some on, throw on a pair of socks and then voila! All seems to be repaired AND still moisturized!
Best product for dry cracked winter heels. I bought this product to get me through until my next pedicure, and it does the job, buy it, ypu wont be dissapointed.
I live in Florida where I can wear sandals/flip flops year round, so dry feet are a big no-no. this stuff works overnight. I slather it on, put on socks or not and in the am my feet are so much softer.
This product is slightly on the smaller side, i would have liked to have more but it works perfectly and keeps feet smooth while repairing damage. This is a must have, and i would buy it again!
This is a great product. I love the minty scent and the rich moist texture of this balm. It's transformed my apartment into a spa!
This smells great, and actually seems to make my feet smoother by morning. Best if used several nights in a row.
I have used this often and I love it. I put in on and pull on a pair of socks and it has saved my winter dry feet! Feels awesome!
Many of my reviews talk about how much I prefer mint products. I don't know what it is about them, maybe the cooling effect, the smell of mint, the "energizing" properties of using mint lotion, shampoos, etc. This product is great in that regard, and really does work to repair dry, damaged feet. I've used it according to the directions at night and then put socks on and you do wake up with smoother skin on your dogs. I also have been using it at night on my dry hands. You couldn't use this during the day because it is so greasy until it absorbs into the skin, but it is great to use before bed.
I love this JR Watkins foot repair salve! I live in the desert so my feet always feel dry, I need something that can help me especially with summer coming . This salve smells amazing and is easy to put on. After using it my feet feel smooth and smell amazing.
I've recommended this to my sister and mother and both have started using it and are getting the same great results. If you're looking for something to make your heels feel smooth, use this amazing product!

Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino proved his commitment to Boston's proposed convention center recently when he helped break a legislative stalemate by agreeing to contribute $157.8 million of city funds for the acquisition and cleaning of the center's South Boston site. As a result, after years of political controversy, the convention center bill finally passed the Massachusetts House with a large majority. The Senate then passed its version of the bill. The legislature is expected to reconcile the two versions this fall,deciding, among other issues, how much to raise the room tax.
"This is great news for Boston's visitor industry," says Patrick B. Moscaritolo, president and CEO, Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau. There could be a ceremonial groundbreaking before the end of the year, he adds. The projected opening date is late 2002 or 2003.

My opinion is: Why choose when you can have both?

Though if I had to choose, I'd choose steel because of its versatility.
How about it. Which kind do you like better?

At this point I kind of prefer steel. You can build a wide variety of steel coasters, plus many, like B&M's coasters, can give you the sensation of flying.

After riding Kraken, Montu, and Incredible Hulk (among others) on a recent trip to Fla, I am starting to appreciate steel more, however...

I like wood. There is something about the classic feel of a wooden coaster that you can't get with steel.

i love steel coasters, especially hypermegas....but i am enthralled by a good woodie now and then(roar at SF america, for one...)
Definitely steel. Way more options.

I like steel. But I really love wood coasters. I like the rickety feeling of them.
Steel is awesome, and B+M make the best out there, yet there's something about woodies. It's the wild, out of control feeling; being thrown around.
i just perfer steel, its the comfortable seats, smoothness, roar, and above all, high gees. i don't remember many woods that pull 4 or 5 gees
"remember, the enemy's gate is down"

98 precent of you have no clue what i'm talking about
I have to go with wooden coasters because they are soo awesome! they can give a diffrent feeling to the rider on each ride that the rider takes . They also are how coasters were first made and how the should be!!

I love steel coaster.

Woodies are ok but i would much rather be steel.
Maybe if I ride a woodie that can top Goliath, I'll prefer wood. But until then, steel is my favorite material.

"Excuse me, but where are your nuclear implosion couplers?"
who cares? coasters are coasters! i love coasters!
They both have their advantages.

Steel: Has a more wide range. They also are much smoother (in most cases) and can provide inversion elements. Also, in the case of steel hypers, you can go much higher and have less mechanical/maintainance problems.

2. Wood: Has been around much longer and have been perfected in design and elements. They provide a great feeling and throw you around a bit.
Oh NO THATS TOO HARD OF A QUESTION. I like steel for their elements and how smoothe they can be, but Woodies are great for that old time feeling
this is a bad question to ask to coaster fans....steelers are great, but we got to honor woodys because they were the originals.IF not for the woodys, we would not have any coasters to enjoy today.
Roller koasters are beautiful pieces of art. The movement of the trains is my anime. The screams are music to my ears.Favorites: Amusement Park: Busch Gardens Williamsburg | Wooden Roller Coaster: The Beast/Grizzly | Steel Roller Coaster: X/ Millenium Force
Wood is the best. Sure they may be a bit rough, but that's part of the experience. There is no variety because no one is trying anything new with the, and they really could. Would it really be that hard to make a floorless car for a woodie? Intamin? GCI? CCI? Anyone? I'm beggin' you.
Steel if I had to choose. I agree, why choose one when you can have both.

P.S. Yeah, it's my 100th post!
i say, i prefer.....

a park that actually has both great steel, and great wood. i have yet to visit a park that has several top caliber steels, and the wood to match.if anyone has any knowledge of a park that features the best of both worlds, please feel free to let me know, so i too can enjoy them
wooden, cos they look so unsafe, with certain supports missed out at stategic places

i love the feeling of a rough ride, combined with g's, it makes for a great ride, but when you get that on a steel rollerocaster, you don't like it, because it is steel.

Wairarapa has many claims, including been the holiday home to the nation's capital, Wellington, with it's abundance of wines, wilderness and a white kiwi.
Wairarapa is a region of big skies, wide valleys and small towns, full of character – and a lot of off-the-beaten-track charm. With three major forest parks and a wild stretch of coast it offers endless possibilities for outdoor adventures or just getting away from it all.
It's also one of New Zealand's top food and wine destinations, the Wiararapa Wine Trail, producing some of the country's premium wines. Visitor experiences include everything from country cooking to fine cuisine in the many cafes, vineyards and restaurants – about an hour's drive north of Wellington.
Accommodation ranges from boutique hotels to homestay cottages. Having a car for transport works best; it's a big area.

IBM Research - Zurich
Click for video: This graphic shows how scientists
Scientists have traced the structure of a complete molecule in all its glory, using the sharpest pen ever devised: an atomic force microscope tipped with a single molecule of carbon monoxide.
The experiment, detailed in Friday's issue of the journal Science, could help open up a new frontier for molecular-scale circuitry and construction.
Researchers have been imaging molecules and their constituent atoms in crystals for decades, but the trick is to get a fine-resolution fix on the structure and behavior of an entire, self-contained molecule as it sits on a surface.
If you have the wrong stuff at the very tip of your probe, the very act of mapping the molecule can spoil the picture.
Leo Gross and his colleagues at IBM's Zurich Research Laboratory found that a carbon monoxide molecule (with its oxygen atom sticking straight out from the tip) produced "spectacular" images of the pentacene molecule. That's a well-studied type of hydrocarbon composed of five benzene rings interlocked in a row (C22H14).
Science / IBM
|Several pentacene molecules are imaged using non-contact atomic force microscopy.
The benzene rings showed up brightly in the atomic-scale images, just as predicted by theory. One of the images published in Science even showed several of the five-ring molecules scattered around a surface like nano-caterpillars.
The researchers said their results were so good because the carbon monoxide molecule could get incredibly close to the pentacene molecule without picking it up or moving it around. When they tried probes that were tipped in metals, such as gold or silver or copper, the pentacene molecule would move around before the tip came close enough to map the chemical forces holding the molecule together.
The IBM team concluded that non-contact atomic force microscopy can be a great way to see how molecules are put together, but only if the microscope's probe is tipped with the right stuff.
The next step is to probe differently constructed molecules to see how they react with various types of tips - and see which kinds of surfaces work best as a molecular-scale lab bench. The goal of all this is to devise a molecular construction toolkit, as well as methods for watching how the tools in the kit work together.
"Eventually we want to investigate using molecules for molecular electronics," Gross told Chemistry World. "We want to use molecules as wires or logic switches or elements."
Experts in nanotechnology have long dreamed of creating molecular-scale circuitry that could revolutionize the computer world. But Gross told EETimes that the revolution is still far off. "It will take at least 15 years to see molecular electronic applications," he said, "and it is by no means certain that we will succeed."
That sounds like a refreshingly realistic assessment to me - but what do you think? Feel free to add your comments below.
Update for 10 p.m. ET Aug. 31: I've added a link to the video from NBC's "Nightly News" in which anchor Brian Williams discusses the magnificent molecule imagery.
